Reveal clearer, more radiant skin with IPL photofacial at Holländer Clinic. Using the advanced Lumenis M22™ platform, we target sun damage, age spots, redness, and uneven tone—restoring a natural, refined glow while elevating your innate beauty.
Improve Skin Clarity and Tone With Light Pulses
IPL photofacial is a non-invasive treatment that uses intense pulsed light to improve the tone, texture, and overall clarity of your skin. At Holländer Clinic, we use the Lumenis M22 to deliver precise light energy that targets pigment, redness, and vascular irregularities beneath the surface. This gentle treatment stimulates natural collagen production, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion with no downtime—perfect for enhancing your natural beauty.

How Does IPL Photofacial Work?
IPL photofacial uses pulses of broad-spectrum light to penetrate the skin and target areas of discoloration or vascular irregularity. The light energy is absorbed by pigment or blood vessels in the skin, gently breaking them down so your body can naturally eliminate them. At the same time, the heat stimulates collagen production, helping to smooth fine lines and improve texture. The result is clearer, more even-toned skin—without damaging the surrounding tissue.
Optimal Precision With Lumenis M22
At Holländer Clinic, we use the Lumenis M22 because it delivers safe, customizable, and highly effective IPL treatments across a wide range of skin types and concerns. This platform offers Optimal Pulse Technology for consistent energy delivery, multiple filters for precision targeting, and real-time cooling for enhanced comfort. Its versatility allows us to address pigmentation, redness, and textural issues with exceptional control and for all skin types.
IPL PhotofacialFAQs
Does IPL Photofacial Hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a warm snap, similar to a rubber band flick, especially during the first pulses of light. However, the Lumenis M22 includes real-time cooling, which significantly enhances comfort during treatment. Topical numbing cream is optional for comfort.
What Should I Expect After Treatment?
You may experience mild redness or warmth in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few hours. The pigmented spots may temporarily darken before fading or flaking off over the following days. There’s no downtime, so you can immediately return to your usual routine, but we recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing sunscreen to protect your results. We also recommend avoiding any strenuous workouts for the first 24 hours post treatment.
Can I Wear Makeup After the IPL Photofacial?
Yes, you can apply makeup immediately after your treatment if your skin isn’t too sensitive. Just be gentle with your skin and use non-comedogenic, fragrance-free products if possible.
How Many IPL Treatments Will I Need?
Most patients see noticeable improvement after just one session, but a series of 3-5 treatments spaced about four weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results. Your skin goals and the concerns we’re treating—like pigmentation, redness, or textural irregularities—will help us personalize your treatment plan during your consultation.
How Long Do the Results Last?
The results can last several months to a year, especially with proper skincare and sun protection. Periodic maintenance sessions—usually once or twice a year—can help extend your results. Think of it as part of your long-term skin health regimen.
Will IPL Photofacial Help With Acne?
Yes, IPL can help reduce active acne and post-acne pigmentation. The light energy targets bacteria and inflammation, while also helping to fade residual redness and dark spots left behind by breakouts. For more severe or cystic acne, we may recommend combining IPL with other treatments like medical-grade skincare or ALA photodynamic therapy.
